THEIR EYES MET LIKE HOW THE OCEAN MET THE SAND. They had seen each other so many times but they had never introduced themselves so this reunion of theirs was quite, well, awkward. "Oh, you're uh..." "Yeah, uh, you're..." They looked at the others' eyes and nodded to one another before stepping into the classroom at the same time.
'THAT WAS SO AWKWARD.'
They looked away from the other and (y/n) made her way to a random desk that was thankfully far away from him. Sero, however, joined his friends in the front of the class with a grin, hoping that they wouldn't tease him. to his dismay, Kaminari had seen everything and was ready to poke fun at the ravenette. "Ooh, who was that cutie?" he teased, leaning his elbow on the boy's shoulder. Sero stepped to the side, watching as the blonde was left to stumble at the lack of something to lean on. "She's an acquaintance," he stated as Kaminari jumped up from the ground.
"Tape arms, even I know there was something more, so tell us now," spat Bakugo as he stared into the poor boy's eyes. "Bakugo, maybe she really is just-" "Crazy hair, you can't change my mind." Mina looked over her shoulder to find the girl fiddling with her pen, eyeing the room closely. "Oh, that girl? She was from 1-B if I remember. You guys had some sexual tension-" Sero's face burned a bright red as he slapped his hand over the pinkette's mouth who flailed around in dismay. "Shut. Up." He looked around to see (y/n) gape at him; he waved.
Sero fell back into his chair, groaning silently. "I wanna be her friend!" Mina exclaimed as she rushed toward the girl. Sero simply groaned even more and turned his head to face Kaminari, Kirishima, and Bakugo. Kirishima scratched the back of his head with an awkward grin, "well, anyways, apparently Aizawa is going to be our teacher again this year!" The boys immediately flew into conversation, ignoring the fact that Mina was terrorizing a new girl.
"You're Sero's cuddle buddy right? I'm Ashido Mina, but everyone calls me Mina! What's your name?"
(y/n) trembled at the energetic girl before her; how could anyone be that peppy in the morning? "Ueki. Ueki (y/n)," she mumbled, a smile plastering itself on her face after as a courtesy. "Well, Ueki, is it true that you and Sero have some uwu tension— if you know what im talking about," whispered Mina with a smirk. Ueki's face flushed as she whispered back, "n-no." Mina exploded in confusion, grabbing at the sides of her head. "What?! No way!" (y/n) looked over at the boy, her cheeks turning a slight pink. "I will admit though, I do find him quite, er- cute." Mina's grin came back almost immediately as she laid her head in her palm atop Ueki's desk. "Fuck him then-"
(y/n) leapt up with a scream, pointing at the girl as her face turned an extremely bright red. "WOAH! NO- I... I DON'T-" Ueki turned to look at the raven-haired boy who watched her in curiosity. Her face turned an even brighter red as she fell to her seat in defeat. "Mina, please, I barely know him," she muttered with a existencial smile, a singular tear falling from her eye. The pinkette ruffled the girl's hair with a grin, "I'll help you then! Then you two can have fun~"
Ueki sighed before letting out a laugh, "god dammit Mina, you got me there."

The lunch room was rowdy, the screams and shouts of overly energetic teens echoing endlessly. Mina dragged Ueki behind her, the girl balancing her tray on her right hand with the utmost care. "Hey guys! Guess who came to join us! Ueki!" she shouted as she took a seat near Sero, making sure to leave a seat between them for the girl to sit. (y/n) glared at the amber-eyed girl who simply smirked as she sat down.
"Ueki, this is Kaminari," a blonde boy gave her a salute and a smirk, "Bakugo," an ash blonde boy rolled his eyes before being nudged by a smiling boy, "that's Kirishima." Ueki looked over to Mina in expectancy, "okay, okay, I didn't forget! The boy next to you is Sero..." The ravenette smiled and waved, "... your future boyfriend." Both teens erupted into a shade of red, Sero now choking on his orange. "A-ah! Are you okay?!" shouted (y/n), slapping the boy on the back of the back as she stood up.
Unknowingly, her hand rested on top of his as she panicked. The boy finally was able to get the orange dislodged from his throat, pulling his hand fast from underneath hers. He winced at the sudden stinging from his hand, looking down to find beads of blood coming from a small... papercut.
"Oh! Did I give you a papercut?!"
Ueki flailed around, reaching into her skirt pocket to pull out a sparkly bandaid, placing it atop the boy's hand. "Sorry about that! It's one bad thing about my quirk." (y/n) sat back down with a sigh as she turned over her palm as she grabbed a small tube. She uncapped it and rubbed it over her skin which seemed to peel away on her palm. Ukei then pushed it down and blew on it, not noticing the stares of awe from the people around her. Looking back up, her cheeks turned a slight pink, "woops!"
Kaminari reached over the table and took a hold of her hand and pulled it towards him to take a closer look, "how'd you- what?" Kirishima reached over Bakugo and slapped Kaminari on the wrist like an angry mother, the blonde pulling his hand away with teary eyes. (y/n) smiled, "my quirk, it's called Paper. Basically, my skin peels away in layers. The skin is like paper and I can fold it to make anything, including weapons which are just as strong as normal ones." Kaminari's eyes sparkled in awe, "that's so cool! So, you can make like some paper gun and it will work just as well?!" Ukei nodded, "the only bad thing is that my skin is as weak as paper. It gets torn easy and it takes extremely long to heal if a wound is deep enough. My weapons are also easy to destroy, so that paper gun can get ripped in half or destroyed by water." Mina's eyes widened, "so does that mean you can't take a shower? Yuck-" "No! I can do that! My skin may have the properties of paper but water doesn't affect my skin, only the skin that's off my body."
Bakugo squinted his eyes slightly before pushing his tray away slightly. "So, basically, your quirk is like tape arms but paper instead of tape," he stated, Mina smirking at this newfound discovery. "Even more a reason you two belong together!"
